The red 420 looks about right to me for an S3. I've just measured mine and the same panel is 1100mm wide and 470mm high (to the top of the black boot cover).
A couple of other dimensions on mine as a further reference: width of the base of the windscreen 1000mm. Widest point of radiator opening 520mm, height of radiator opening 225mm.
A couple of other checks. The boot cover of an S3 has 8 popers along the straight part of the back, whereas an SV has only 7. The windscreen of an S3 has 5 poppers along the top of the screen, whereas an SV has 9.
I'd be glad to send my manual, which has dimensions, but you can find a more up to date one one here:

Page 18 gives the dimensions you're after.
Re the 160, I confess I don't know, but would be surprised if the dimensions are any different, as that would require a new jig for the chassis, and I can't imagine Caterham being happy with the added cost.
There are other little details that look out of place, like the sump, which looks a little too far back for the Academy, which uses the Sigma engine, but that would be being far too picky. Its a really lovely rendition.
I've now driven your latest version. Lovelly, thank you. The brakes seem a bit 'sudden', not as progressive as the real thing, and she does feel a touch too twitchy. These cars don't have any ABS, power assisted steering, nor brake assisted servos. Dunno how difficult it is to allow suspension adjustment, but the real thing is easy to alter on most 7s as they have adjustable platforms and is part of the fun of playing with the car (though on the Academy cars theyre all set the same by Caterham). Be glad to include the suspension set up that Caterham recommends if its of interest.
Oh, and being a Briton, please may we have the option of the chauffeur on the right side (its no coincidence that all aircraft carriers have the control tower on the right hand side, and countries that drive on the left have fewer accidents per mile).
Glad to provide any more info if of use.
